March 5:
Exercise: yes (steps + bike)
Calories: yes
Tracked: yes
My back is not happy, so I could not walk briskly. Not wanting to deal with the wind, I tried the bike in the gym, but one of the pedal levers was broken. So, I got out my bike, pumped up the tires and headed out. The only way to go from here is downwind, so I had to fight the wind to get home. This is only the second time I have been on the bike since last summer, so I feel pretty good about 40 minutes!2 -

Should have been better but ate Chinese with so much salt last night!
@jamiewilldo. Well done. Even with the salt (and the water it makes the body retain), it was still in the right direction.
Hopefully this will means next week will be the today's water + the week.
Are you tracking size? (for men, particularly waist and chest as that is typically where the largest stores are). Size will give a much better indicator as to whether body fat is really reducing. Weight tends to fluctuate too much (especially if you start to build lean muscle).

Good pace.
Alos Pavlova again for desert. My wife spoils me.
Have a clean workbench now. Space to do repairs on any damaged drones
@concordancia. Hope the back feels better soon. Activity (like the cycling) that does not stress it will do it a world of good.
Well done for getting on the bike and braving the headwind home, its hard when the homeward slog is more difficult but it adds to the motivation.

Week 1 weight: 152.6
I haven’t been focus the past couple of days, I don’t know if it’s the gloomy weather again in Michigan.
Can anyone recommend a decent scale, mine has been giving me a different weight every time I step on it (stepping on then off then on again, and so forth)? 2 -

Whoops! Sorry I’m a day late. On vacation for the week and lost track of days. The plateau continues, but I’m very hopeful about next week’s weigh-in. I’m finally getting enough sleep (work was really hectic last week) and am easily able to work out an hour a day out here. I’m also being pretty darn good with my calories.3 -

Oops, looking at the spreadsheet I see that I mis-typed my weight yesterday, I was 189.8 NOT 198.8! Big difference!2

Bottom of a down swing. Lowest reading of the week this morning. Do not want to go much lower (if at all).
Just a note to all. As coach, my weigh in does not count toward the team total. I do post my weigh in information as an example. I am in full maintenance and should not drop below 64.0kg (estimated 8% body fat).3 -

Someone mentioned a spreadsheet. Where can I see that?
My introduction: I'm soon to be 43, married mom to an almost 21 year old daughter and 17 year old son. I live near Dayton, OH. Since my husband and I married, I've gained 100 pounds but most of that has been in the last 10. Our son has special needs and it's been very stressful. I am an emotional eater. I've also struggled with depression and anxiety through the ups and downs. A few years ago, I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia. As I've gained, I am more achy and sore. That has led to less activity and more emotional eating. So it's a vicious cycle.
My son also struggles with his weight, partially due to medication, but does not eat well either. I want to be a better role model for him. I also want to feel better about myself mentally and physically.4 -
@jackswife1207 have you tried yoga or Tai chi? They can be excellent for dealing with stress while getting your body moving.
